Why Good Surfers Think Like Stoics - and How Stoic Philosophy Can Make You a Better Surfer https://t.co/1sWz0cZfOI

If you get motion sickness you will struggle to get barreled - your eyes and balance aren’t synced. The tube will disorient you every time - swallowing you.

Your intelligent, successful and resilient. Work, relationships, health; crushing it. In fact, you are good at most things you put your mind to…. But Surfing eludes you - it’s frustrating how hard it is. Because no one taught you the basics correctly. Surf Mastery does.

Good news. Your brain gets better as you age… as long as you keep learning, moving, creating and thinking.

ANYONE can surf good… once you know how. The “how” isn’t your technique or your board - it’s how well you read the ocean.

Single Focus is Peace.

Feeling judged in the lineup? You’re not alone. But the truth… no one is really watching you, they’re too busy worrying about themselves.

Be obsessed, it’s the only way to truly get better at something.

Surfing is a feeling.

Surfing is easy - Once you are standing up, feet in the right spot, and board in the right part of the wave. It’s getting to that point that’s the hard part.

Urinating in your wetsuit ruins the neoprene, makes your suit stink, and is just gross.

5 short rules for better surfing: 1. Focus on effort, not results 2. Surf everyday 3. Seek challenges 4. Stay a student 5. Focus on what you can control

Is the way YOU surf determined by you? Or are you another surf industry puppet pumping a performance poly pop out…

Pros don’t even surf performance shortboards (unless it’s PUMPING) outside of competition - so why do most intermediates keep buying them?!

If you can’t train hard for 5 hours a week, every week, for a year—don’t expect to be a good surfer. Catching waves takes serious athleticism: paddle power, explosive pop-ups, and instant acceleration. This ain’t Yoga with dolphins.

Surfing’s easy—if you started at 4, have the coordination of a gymnast, and the patience of a monk. If you picked it up at 35 and think you’re gonna rip without sweating blood, you’re not ‘inspired,’ you’re hallucinating.

Adult learner surfers suck! Why? Because surfing is WAR, and you brought tofu arms and tight hips to the battlefield. You want to surf well? Train like an athlete. Paddle hard, pop up fast. Or stay on the beach with your soy latte.

Surfing is a lifelong pursuit, surfing skills compound over time. That’s why it can take so long to see improvement, keep surfing.

"For most intermediate (and advanced) surfers, surfing begins once they get to their feet, this is the WORST perspective you can have in surfing because it downplays the importance of the entry and pop-up." - @surf_mastery on beginner into intermediate: https://t.co/J5s6wtFeRZ
